I'm not good at troubleshooting so I'm probably wrong, but it sounds like there's a chance you might be experiencing a poor connection and brief disconnects? Is it a new problem starting tonight? Are you on a wireless connection and in a new location or anything? Adjusted firewall settings or installed a new antivirus program that might be hypersensitive in blocking things? Sorry if none of that is helpful.

Same location, no settings changed, it has happened just in the last month. I'm using a router, and use sat internet and have had no issues until the last month..so frustrating have to throw jobs back, or not able to go to some websites.
I'm off to bed, hopefully someone can help you in the new daily thread. Only thing that sounds familiar to me is not being able to access certain websites being some sort of ip config DNS issue. I should re-clarify that I don't know what I'm talking about. Hopefully someone here can help you soon in the new thread, or like Dirty said above, call your ISP. Good luck!
Hey, thanks all! I called my internet provider, and they ran some tests, and said packet loss..they did some things on their end, and I rebooted router and it worked!!! YAY! They said for me to reboot both boxes next time this happens, something about static buildup..my net is even going quicker now!
